Jason BrillSynesthetic Studio

Artist / creative engineer / Parsons MFA

Sound made physical.

I translate spectrograms—the images machines use to recognize music—into objects you can touch.

Software becomes relief. Relief becomes mold. Mold becomes object.

Music is intimate.

Platforms make it abstract.

I make it material again.

Material systemsOne sound, three states of permanence.
cast cotton relief

Paper

shadow / silence / archive

Quiet, white, almost not there. The most fragile translation.
pigment and depth

Resin

light / suspension / color

A luminous object where amplitude controls opacity and frequency holds color.
patina and scan

Bronze

weight / fire / permanence

The song becomes heavy, patinated, and damaged by its own return.

Jason Brill is an artist and creative engineer working with sound, software, and material systems. His Parsons MFA thesis, Synesthetic Liberation, used punch-needle embroidery and spectrogram analysis to ask whether music could be felt rather than only heard.

Synesthetic Studio extends that inquiry into durable interfaces: cast reliefs, resin light works, bronze studies, and scan-readable sound objects built for collectors, galleries, architecture, and archives.
